PROCESS SIMULATION CAPABILITIES

Simulation Uses:

-Develop basis for process, pipeline, or wellbore design

-Develop preliminary process, pipeline, or wellbore designs

-Prepare material and energy balances

-Identify options for reducing costs for existing processes, pipelines, or wells

-Size and rate heat exchangers, pumps, process vessels, packed and trayed absorbers, compressors, expanders, reactors, etc.

-Predict full range of fluid properties

-Piping system hydraulics calculations

-Evaluation of problems requiring rigorous thermodynamic analysis and phase equilibria calculations

Examples of Simulation Experience:

-Developed simulation of CrystaSulf sulfur recovery process including reactive tray-by-tray gas absorption unit operations

-Simulated numerous gas dehydration systems for troubleshooting and optimization

-Evaluated pipeline pressure loss and effects on fluid properties for supercritical CO₂ and two-phase flow in pipelines

-Evaluated well tubing sizes vs. desired production rates for determination of need to change tubing size

-Developed simulation of hydrotreating system for mixture of sour NGLs, predicted effects of the type of H₂S removal system on H₂ purity and system cost

-Used simulation to prepare process design for stripper to remove H₂S from NGL

-Predicted solubility curves for sulfur in multicomponent mixtures for crystallizer design

-Predicted liquid/liquid, solid/liquid, and vapor/liquid equilibria for sulfur recovery process

-Simulated amine system for acid-gas removal from natural gas

-Evaluated new liquid/liquid extraction process for petroleum refinery applications

-Simulated numerous strippers for industrial wastewater treatment

-Simulated numerous scrubbers for absorption of contaminants from gaseous waste streams

-Prepared process design for de-isobutanizer column

Process Simulation Software:

Trimeric uses WinSim DESIGN II software for process simulation.  This is a time-tested steady state simulator with state-of-the-art capabilities.  Trimeric’s staff also has extensive experience with ASPEN PLUS and other software for aqueous chemical and physical solubility equilibria.  Trimeric uses specialized software for modeling pipelines & well tubing that incorporates the state-of-the-art OLGAS 2000 calculation engine.
